The post Rich Homie Quan & Roddy Ricch Settle Beef, But Is The Verzuz Still On? appeared first on SOHH.com.
Two of hip-hop’s predominant ric(c)h-named rappers, Roddy Ricch and Rich Homie Quan, have been beefing recently. Now, though, Quan says the situation has been resolved and everything is cool.
Last night, Quan wrote in an Instagram Story post, “Just got off the phone with @roddyricch everything is smooth we settled it like men and I want to apologize for my position at the moment and take this opportunity to show everyone that through conversations we can have solutions.”
As for what happened, Quan claimed he was intended to have a verse on DJ Drama’s new album, I’m Really Like That, but explained, “I f*ck with Gucci. My verse harder than Gucci Mane. Wayne killed that mothaf*cka. Man, my sh*t was harder than Roddy. Then, they say, ‘We ain’t trying to start no industry sh*t. Roddy Ricch wanted you off the song.’ I ain’t even met Roddy!”
He continued, “Roddy got that ‘Box’ song. I bet his catalog can’t f*ck with mine. That’s on all the money he got in the bank. Since you wanted me off the song, man, let’s go back and forth, catalog to catalog. You ain’t got nothing but the ‘Box’ sh*t because all that other sh*t wack.”

Confusion over a song caused Rich Homie Quan to target Roddy Ricch, but the short-lived beef has ended. Last week, DJ Drama dropped off I’m Really That, his star-studded effort that hosted looks from the who’s who in Rap. Rich Homie Quan expected his name to be on that list but was surprised when he was omitted. According to Quan, he turned in his verse for “FMFU,” but when he listened to the record, the track hosted Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, and Roddy Ricch.
Soon, Quan was on Instagram Live airing out his grievances with Roddy. However, after going viral, he returned to his Instagram Story with an update. “Just got off the phone with [Roddy Ricch],” he wrote. “Everything is smooth we settled it like men and I want to apologize for my position at the moment and this this opportunity to show everyone that through conversations we can have solutions.” Prior to shaking hands, Quan wasn’t happy.
Prior to making things right, Quan had quite a bit to say. While on his controversial IG Live, he played the verse he thought would be on Drama’s album. “This what I was expecting to hear,” said the rapper. He alleged that Roddy Ricch had him excluded from the track. “Even if you ain’t want me on the song, man somebody could’ve called my phone.” Then, Quan went on to challenge Roddy to a Verzuz without laying blame on anyone else.
“Nothing against Gucci Mane, ’cause I love Gucci,” he said ” Bro, wouldn’t nobody on that song when it was sent to me.” Meanwhile, Roddy addressed the controversy on his Story. “You too old for this internet sh*t but I ain’t even know u was on the phone,” he wrote. “I sent Drama the hook and let them do the rest. Aint never been no n*gga to stop nobody from eating especially a n*gga ion even know. Im around tho champ.” Fans are happy they were able to settle it amicably. Check it out above and weigh in on the exchange in the comments.
Rich Homie Quan was reportedly supposed to have a verse on DJ Drama’s latest album, according to HotNewHipHop. However, he had a noticeable lack of inclusion on the tracklist’s features — and he is now blaming Roddy Ricch as the reason why. He was allegedly supposed to be another verse on “FMFU” with Drama, Ricch, Gucci Mane, and Lil Wayne.
Because of this, Rich Homie Quan offered his unfiltered thoughts on an Instagram Live broadcast.
“I f*ck with Gucci,” he said. “My verse harder than Gucci Mane. Wayne killed that mothaf*cka. Man, my sh*t was harder than Roddy,” he exclaimed. “Then, they say, ‘We ain’t trying to start no industry sh*t. Roddy Ricch wanted you off the song.’ I ain’t even met Roddy!”

Rich Homie Quan then throws some disses toward Ricch before offering him a challenge. He was so confident in the strength of his deleted verse that he’d bet “$10 million to his $1 million.”
“Roddy got that ‘Box’ song. I bet his catalog can’t f*ck with mine,” he continued. “That’s on all the money he got in the bank.”
“Since you wanted me off the song, man, let’s go back-and-forth, catalog to catalog,” Rich Homie Quan challenged. “You ain’t got nothing but the ‘Box’ sh*t because all that other sh*t wack.”

Roddy Ricch is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
DJ Drama delivered his latest album, I’m Really Like That on Friday with a line-up of superstar features. Artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, and more appear across the tracklist, though there are certainly several others who didn’t make the final cut. Rich Homie Quan, for example, reportedly had a verse on the project but in a recent video, he accused Roddy Ricch of removing him from the song. Roddy appears on “FMFU” with Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne, but allegedly, the Compton rapper personally requested to have RHQ’s verse removed entirely.
Rich Homie Quan aired out his issues on Instagram Live this morning where he claimed Roddy asked to have the “Lifestyle” rapper taken off the record. Quan said that someone told him they were going to take a “different route” with the record, though he feels like he had one of the better verse on the song. “I fuck with Gucci. My verse harder than Gucci Mane. Wayne killed that mothafucka. Man, my shit was harder than Roddy,” he exclaimed. “Then, they say, ‘We ain’t trying to start no industry sh*t. Roddy wanted you off the song.’ I ain’t even met Roddy!”

Rich Homie Quan went on to explain that he didn’t even know there was any friction between them. However, he challenged the Compton rapper to basically do a Verzuz against him. “Roddy got that ‘Box’ song. I bet his catalog can’t fuck with mine,” he continued. “That song’s all the money he got in the bank.” RHQ said that he’d put his “$10 million to his $1 million” to prove that it was the wrong decision to remove him from “FMFU.”
The “Type Of Way” rapper continued to state that Roddy Ricch doesn’t have much else in his catalog besides “The Box,” which has since gone Diamond. “Since you wanted me off the song, man, let’s go back-and-forth, catalog to catalog. You ain’t got nothing but the “Box” shit because all that other sh*t wack.” Ultimately, Rich Homie Quan felt like Roddy Ricch could’ve simply called him and informed him of the decision instead of doing it behind his back. “I ain’t got no problem with Drama ‘nem. I’m just sayin’. If they say Roddy took me off, I don’t want to fight. N***a, hard drive to hard drive. You can’t f*ck with me, boy.” Check out his statements above.
When Roddy Ricch dropped “The Box” at the end of 2019, he couldn’t have had a clue how the next year would play out. The single, which was dropped after the album’s release, upended the social order of the Billboard charts and held onto the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks in 2020. It’s already diamond-certified and its success seemingly signaled the birth of a new superstar who would reign over hip-hop for the foreseeable future.
By the same time the next year, those same fans are social media had declared his new album, Live Life Fast, DOA, and Roddy himself washed up. (Even worse, he’s currently facing a copyright infringement lawsuit over the song that supercharged his ascent, filed at the end of 2022.) Roddy suddenly saw himself dealing with both the gift and the curse of social media.
Incidentally, that’s the title of the Roddy-focused episode of RapCaviar Presents, which started streaming on Hulu today. The episode (which features yours truly as a talking head) addresses Roddy’s love-hate relationship with social media — something we touched on in Uproxx’s cover story about him — with Roddy commenting on how unnatural it all seems to him.
At the 21-minute mark of the episode, Roddy says, “A lot of people don’t have to deal with more than 10 people. So just imagine seven million that see your posts every day… Jesus only had 12 disciples, and I ain’t nowhere near Jesus… Let me be great, man.”
